It felt AMAZING lol! 4 Months is just WAY TO LONG of a break for my horses and myself!

I didn't get any videos of the riding part because I was more focused on making sure they were warmed up good and my butt was in the saddle in case they wanted to bust a move. But the boys were GREAT!

JJ was wound tighter than a banjo, and stiffer than a 2x4! I lunged him for a good 20 minutes to try and get some of the pi$$ and vinagear out of him. He was tossing his head and squealing lol, then would go for a burn then calm back down. I finally decided to just get on because he was just gonna keep going and going lol! He actually was great! He didn't hump up, but he was VERY forward lol. I am for sure going to throw him back in the snaffle after he isn't feeling so full of himself and soften him back up.

Scrat did GREAT too. Lunged him for a bit, he wasn't as wound as JJ lol. And he did super good, was super light (lighter than the last time I rode him), was relaxed and just a rockstar.

Didn't ride Zoey because we had some things to do after I rode, but she got to come along for the ride and hang out. I plan on riding her first tomorrow :)

I was looking forward to a review of the new saddle too. You look great in it. I am such a sucker for tack, whether it's new or just "new to me", and I love hearing the stories of others who get something new, especially a saddle. I got a new one last spring and love it but I will still drool all over the latest inventory at the local tack shops. Congrats on the ride. I soooo wish I had access to an indoor arena.
